Klamath dams to come down; gun proposal
Four major dams on the
Klamath River could start
coming down as early as
2023. However, firefighters
use the reservoirs behind
those dams to battle wild-
fires. Mark Bransom is the
chief executive officer of
the Klamath River Renewal
Corporation: He says infra-
structure will be put in place
to get water to firefighting
teams.
“We will install pipelines
that will be permanently
placed into the river in deep
pools that will be available
even under low flow condi-
tions.”
New mapping will also
make it easier for aerial
teams to find the water they
need. Elsewhere in regional
news:
Gun permit initiative
Backers of a proposed
initiative in Oregon that
would require individuals to
secure permits to buy fire-
arms say they have gathered
enough signatures to put the
issue before voters in the
November election.
The Rev. Mark Knutson,
a chief petitioner of the ini-
tiative, delivered the signa-
tures last week to the Or-
egon Secretary of State’s
office in Salem, accompa-
nied by students and other
volunteers.
SIRE: Free, easy estate planning for members
(from page 1)
Individual situations can
be complicated, and the SIRE
service can be the tool for
members to use in control-
ling how assets are handled
following a person’s passing.
Writing an Indian will and
developing an estate plan al-
lows you to decide who will
receive your trust and non-
trust property and how assets
will be used when you are
gone. An estate plan also al-
lows parents to name guard-
ians for minor children. In
addition to providing for
loved ones, an estate plan can
make your wishes known re-
garding health-care decisions
and charitable intentions.
The goal of SIRE, Ms.
Armstrong says, “Is to keep
tribal lands in tribal mem-
bers’ hands. Because of the
change in federal law gov-
erning the disposition of
property following a tribal
member’s passing, having a
will has taken on greater im-
portance.”
The recent law dictates
how property will be distrib-
uted following the passing of
a tribal member who does
not have a will. “The way to
avoid the situation, and con-
trol the distribution of the
estate, is to have a will,”
Roberta says.
Individuals who schedule
appointments with Roberta
will first complete an autho-
rization form for her to ob-
tain the following information
prior to the scheduled ap-
pointment:
1. A report of Individual
Trust Interests that lists all
trust land ownership interests
for the individual.
2. A current Individual In-
dian Monies account state-
ment.
To ensure your wishes as
to your assets into the future,
call Roberta, 866-639-5550.
